Why I Became Meek

Chapter 2

.... Sorry for the the length of chapter 1.

I awoke to the buzzing of Josh's phone. Who knew 2 a.m. could come so quickly? I stretched and felt Josh's arms around me. He was sound asleep and drooling. He is so adorable when he sleeps. His hair is mused, he has color in his cheeks, and he looks so peaceful.

I turned off the alarm, and got up from the bed without waking him up. He shouldn't have to help me. He does so much for me already.

I quietly crept down the large wooden staircase, eased open my closet room door and threw on my dress from two days before.

I opened the door to the storage room that functions as the sewing room and set to work.

"Hey... How many.... more dresses do you.... have to make" Josh yawned as he came up behind and looked at the dress I was working on.

" Three... I think... how many girls do we have in the school at the moment" I asked worried that I might have to make more dresses than I thought. It's already eight o'clock and I still have to get the laundry, cleaning, and cooking done.

"There's 15 including you."

"Awesome. I don't count by the way, the note specifically excludes me."

"Liz you count to me, Alexis, and Shelly. Anyway... Let's not argue about this... I'll finish the rest of the dresses and you can start cleaning." He said as he pulled out my chair and pushed me out of the door way.

I went down stairs and got to work. There was a ton of laundry but the house was basically clean, because I kept it cleaned.

Eleven fifty nine came quicker than I thought it could. I ran to the sewing room to see if Josh had gotten the last three dresses made.

I opened the door and smacked straight into Josh. "Did you get the dresses done" I said in a panic.

"Hello to you too" Josh said with a smile on his face. "And no I didn't get the dresses done".

"What" I whispered as tears slid down my face.

" Liz do you really think I didn't finish the dresses. Goodness Liz do you really doubt me" Josh asked as he wiped the tears from my cheeks.

He turned around and grabbed the dresses. He showed me four dresses all beautifully made.

Wait why is there four dresses we only needed three more made.

"Why did you make four dresses"I asked voicing my confusion.

"Well, this one is for Ellis" he pointed to a yellow polka dotted dress. " And these two are for Jane and Kelly" he held up blue and green dresses with all kinds of frills. Jane and Kelly are Aunt Thelsey's other nieces.

"Who's dress is the aqua blue one" I asked longingly.

"Guess".

"Alexis's" I would love to say me but I know it couldn't be and Alexis would look great in it.

"No, Elizabeth its yours" He said sounding exasperated " I made it for you now go shower and put it on and no arguing. Go" he said as he pushed me out the door.
